Salvaging Aloe Leaves from a Root-Rotted Plant

Can You Use the Leaves?

The upper leaf portions appear healthy. Cut the top half of a healthy leaf, let the cut end dry 24 hours, then insert into a 50/50 peat-perlite mix. Keep slightly damp, warm, and bright. Baby plants may emerge in months.

Short-Term Storage

Refrigerate cut leaves to prolong usability. Discard if they discolor or smell off.

Preservation

No specific recipe given; refrigeration is the simplest method.
